Ubisoft and NVIDIA announce continuation of PC gaming partnership

Ubisoft and NVIDIA have announced a continuation of their PC gaming partnership; the two companies will be working closely together on a new wave of PC titles, including Assassin’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew and Tom Clancy’s The Division.

NVIDIA’s GameWorks Team is working closely with Ubisoft’s development studios on technologies such as TXAA antialiasing, soft shadows, HBAO (horizon-based ambient occlusion), advanced DX11 tessellation and NVIDIA PhysX technology.

“Working with NVIDIA has enabled us to bring an enhanced gameplay experience to our PC players,” said Geoffroy Sardin, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with NVIDIA on our biggest upcoming titles.”

The two companies have previously collaborated on PC titles like Assassins Creed IV Black Flag and Watch Dogs, both of which have had absolutely no technical issues at all. No sir. (Shush, we don't want to interrupt the mutual congratulations, do we?)

“We’re excited to continue our long-term partnership with Ubisoft in bringing our latest PC technology to their games," said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of Content & Technology at NVIDIA. “Through GameWorks, we have been able to add unique visual and gameplay innovations to deliver amazing experiences for these stellar Ubisoft games. I can’t wait to play them myself.”
